Haha... I got my car driving license in Taiwan!!!Almost gave up taking the test...

I failed on my first theory test, passing on my second attempt.

After passing the theory test, I took the practical test. Failed on first try...First station is reverse parking, hit the line, siren sounds, low morale...Then the rest of the stations got no mood to carry on.

After more practice, with more confidence, and some luck, I passed on my second attempt.The funny thing is my test date is on Friday the 13th, of Oct 2006.Thing to note: don't be nervous, just relax. Treat it like normal driving, not a test.

2. Foreign Driving License - make sure it's not expired-> need to know the first Date of Issue, and Date of Expiry.need official translation of Foreign Driving License, if not in English, from the relevant Embassy.

3. Int'l Driving Permit (IDP) - make sure it's not expired

4. Passport - to prove at least 6 mths of continous stay in the foreign country.

took 3 years to complete diploma.lectures, tutorials and practicals.Assessment is based on assignments, projects and examinations.must have 80% class attendence to be allowed to sit for the exams.major project submit in final year.

What's Next?After diploma, will be finding all kinds of temporary jobs to gain exposure.Location: The nearer to home, the better.Working hours: A 9-to-5 job is sufficient, getting at least $50 per day (min. S$7 per hr).Followed by National Service (NS).After NS, will be exploring the further studies option for me,>> look for courses that give advance standings, direct entry, subject exemptions(skip a few modules, that is learnt in diploma)

Advanced standing list:http://www.tp.edu.sg/admin/iris/IR_Div/AdvStd/UNIVERSITY.htmThere are many universities that are not on the list but would probably provide some exemptions to our students on a case-by-case basis.The amount of exemptions you'll get depends on your grades, the relevance of the diploma to degree courses and the institution that you are applying to.When in doubt, send the university admission officer your transcript and course descriptions for evaluation.

Cost to study abroad:It depends on where and what you intend to study. Below is just a guide:AustraliaTuition (1 acad. yr): A$10,000 -A$17,000(exc. medicine & dentistry courses)Living Exp: A$7,200 - A$13,500
